VOICES for a Malaria-Free Future

PMI Annual Report 2008
This report summarizes the initial successes of the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI),  a historic five-year expansion of U.S. Government resources to fight malaria in 15 countries most affected by the disease.  The report highlights the results of PMI efforts, like the PMI program in Tanzania, where a 2007 survey of 10 health facilities in this country showed a greater than 90 percent decline in the proportion of blood smears positive for malaria in children under two years of age, from 22 percent in 2005 to just 0.7 percent in 2007.
